Primo Search

Primo provides simple, one-stop searching for books and e-books, e-journals and articles, digital media, and more.

Borrowing books from other libraries
By default, your search will include item held by other I-Share libraries. I-Share includes more than 100 academic and institutional libraries in Illinois which lend books to Rush's patrons. To limit your search to physical books held at Rush (excluding I-Share items, which would need to be delivered to the library) select the Library Catalog option.

What types of material can I borrow from libraries in the I-Share Network?
Most physical books held by other libraries in the I-Share network can be borrowed by Rush patrons, but libraries may choose not to lend books in restricted collections (e.g. Reserve or Reference). In general, it is not possible to borrow e-books or e-journals from other libraries, but book chapters and journal articles may be requested through ILLiad, Rush's interlibrary loan system. Look for the ILLiad link to initiate your request.
Can't find it at Rush or in I-Share?
You can sign into ILLiad and enter your request manually.

e-Journal Search

Search Rush's e-journal subscriptions by title or ISSN. Note that this option does not search the full text or title of e-journal articles. To search for articles, try Primo, or use a dedicated abstract and citation database (e.g. PubMed, Scopus or Ovid).
